only bob corker seems to be clearly in favor of the policy right now. it's stressing the republican side. that's really remarkable, especially considering that not so long ago they were very much unified on these types of issues. >> michael, let me bring you in as we watch live pictures from the senate foreign relations committee, the chairman mr. menendez there. we'll go into that for a second, but let me bring you in with something you wrote here. i want to read it. the headline was "why obama's i might bomb syria anyway stance could backfire." the administration can and maybe will proceed with the bombing even if congress votes against it. i think this posture invites an avalanche of no votes. can you elaborate on that for me? >> sure. well, imagine yourself a member of the house of representatives, whether a right wing tea party member or a liberal member. in both cases, the mail in your district is coming in nine to one, ten to one against doing this. so if i'm sitting there and i'm that member and i hear the president of the united states saying,

soldiers. >> as we start to understand what an obama foreign policy is. i mean, you look back at the first inaugural just compared with the second inaugural address. the first inaugural address was about ending the era of bush and cheney. that's really what it was about. it was about we're going to do this in i different way. if you unclench your fist. it's a different time now. he has to figure out what he is going to do affirmatively, not in reaction to the way somebody else did it that he disapproved of. >> look at the change in personnel. to go from gates to hillary clinton, who is much more hawkish than obama, and to bring in john kerry who is a bit to the left of hillary, and then you go to chuck hagel, who is far to the left perhaps of the president. this is an interesting foreign policy team. it's driving the right crazy. this speech today about potentially converting current enemies into future friends is going to drive them still crazier. you know, the idea -- i get the weekly standard every week just to keep an eye on these guys, and their atti

that's why presidents in the second term go to foreign policy as a part of legacy. i wonder how the president is viewed on the world stage? four years ago we talked about the rock star reception around the world. i wonder how people feel now. >> i think he's viewed because of the arab spring very differently. he's not viewed as a passive observer, someone who saw this wildfire in the dry woods of the middle east coming and watched it burn. if you ask many world leaders, they think that the obama administration was deeply responsible for the way things developed. if you ask leaders in saudi arabia, they blame president obama for unleashing the arab spring, by throwing mubarak under a bus, for allowing this -- the sequence of events to transpire. i don't think people in the obama administration accept that view, but when you ask world leaders they look back and they say under the president of the united states' watch, this is what happened and this is the course he took and will be remembered by in a very important region. >> richard engel, thank you for being part of
